New Giants offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo coached the tight ends for six seasons in Green Bay before taking over as quarterbacks coach the past two seasons.

Last week, former Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said that before he departed the team had discussed the need for a faster, bigger tight end than the incumbent Brandon Myers, who was more of a receiving tight end than a blocking tight end.

With McAdoo on board, may the Giants go after Packers unrestricted free agent tight end Andrew Quarless, who is raw but showed potential in relief of the injured Jermichael Finley this season?

Quarless, 6-foot-4, 252-pounder, was born in Brooklyn, New York and raised on Long Island. He was a fifth-round pick by the Packers in 2010 out of Penn State.

Last season, Quarless caught 32 passes for 312 yards and two touchdowns in 10 starts - all career-highs. He struggled as a blocker but Giants tight end coach Michael Pope has built a reputation for developing dual-threat players at his position.

If Quarless is a willing student as a blocker – unlike Myers who built his career as a pass catcher – he could be the answer for the Giants at tight end. Youngsters Adrien Robinson and Larry Donnell are also on the roster.
